Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: x86: work around infinite loop in microcode when #AC is delivered
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 13:22:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447158174-10484-2-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1447158174-10484-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com>
From: Eric Northup <digitaleric@google.com>
It was found that a guest can DoS a host by triggering an infinite
stream of "alignment check" (#AC) exceptions. This causes the
microcode to enter an infinite loop where the core never receives
another interrupt. The host kernel panics pretty quickly due to the
effects (CVE-2015-5307).
